Lady & Starlit Eyes

Sasha was carried into the barn, where she was placed in an open pen that was filled with warm hay and blankets. The lady wrapped her up in one of the blankets to make sure that she would stay warm. Then she began to check the dog's vital signs and her symptoms, paying close attention to her eyes and pulse. Although she couldn't be totally sure, the lady narrowed down what the poison must be. Rummaging through her supplies, she pulled out a needle and gave Sasha a shot of a pale violet colored liquid. It should stop the poison from causing any more damage. A second shot was giving to ease Sasha's pain and make her somewhat drowzy so that she could feel more relaxed.

The lady didn't want to give the dog any food at the moment, since she had coughed up blood. She feared Sasha could have an ulcer or something wrong that would be made worse by food. So to be safe, she only set out a bowl of water for now. With everything done, the lady waited to see if Sasha would respond to the drugs or not.

Sasha

The doberman eyes began to drift shut and being touched by human hands didnt help the fear she felt. She had no ulcer or any other problems though.

Soon the doberman was asleep and huddled deep into the blankets to keep herself warm. She just wanted sleep....And Bullet. She attempted to lift her head and moaned then curled back into her ball. Moving was not an option as of yet.

Bullet

Bullet slunk around the Barn, keeping to the shadows at first as he watched the lady and her hybrid. He rumbled now and then, out of frustration. Humans always made him anxious and unnerved. After a moment, the hybrid slunk into the open pen and laid down next to Sasha, shifting his eyes from the Lady to Starlit, "She better not lock that gate." Was all he said before resting his head protectively near his mate's.

SASHA

The female awoke a few hours later feeling utterly exausted. She saw Bullet and curled up next to him with a sigh resting her head upon his back. He was here and that was all she needed. She wasnt much for confined spaces but she didnt think she could go far so she might as well stay where she was. She began to lick Bullet grooming him with a lovers affection. Softly she said "Bullet....When this war is over....Do you think we could have puppies?" There. It was said and out. She waited tensely then said hurriedly "Its ok if you dont want to Id understand" She mentally kicked herself then went back to grooming the male.

Bullet

He relished in the attention, for never had anyone shown him quite the care that she was. Although he was new to it, Bullet did his best to groom her in return, and thump his tail against the straw-strewn ground in simple joy. Now he paused, listening to what she had to say. If it was any hint to his answer, Bullet's tail wagged faster and he gave a great smile, "It's what I've always wanted." The big hybrid gave his mate a nuzzle, and then returned to grooming her as well. Despite the threat of war, he couldn't feel happier right now!

Sasha

She smiled and curled up next to her mate with a sigh of relief. Soon the war would be over and she could go back to living in happiness once more. Sasha drifted to sleep again dreaming of hers and Bullets pups and how they would grow up.

Bullet & Mesa

Bullet rested his head once more, feeling his eyes grow heavy with sleepiness. He forced himself to stay awake just a bit longer, until Sasha herself had fallen into sleep. With a quite yawn, the hybrid let his lids fall shut.

The peregrine falcon had found a brief perch on the windowsill along the side of the barn. She peered in and spotted the two packmates and smiled to herself. Seeing that they seemed alright, she flew to a higher perch in a nearby tree. With Sasha so vulnerable, Mesa knew it was important to keep an eye out for danger.

Sasha

I wanna be there when you call
I wanna catch you when you fall
I wanna be the one you need
I wanna be the one you breathe

Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way grown
Today's the day we'll fade away

I wanna be there when you cry
And when you're down I'll help you fly
I wanna be the one you need
I wanna be the one you breathe

Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way grown
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh

Night came and Sasha awoke. She raised her head off of Bullet and looked around her. With a yawn she stood and stretched for she seemed much better then she had seemed before. Vaguely she remembered the events of her sickness but what stuck out most clearly was that Bullet had agreed to pups. She watched her mate sleep for a minute before nudging him. "Bullet....Bullet get up lets go." She was uneasy staying around the humans to much even though she was of an alley pack. She watched him quietly until he roused himself enough to leave.

But I'm coming back,
and I'm taking back everything I can
It's breaking me up and tearing me up
It's all I have
And I'm coming back,
and I'm taking back everything I can
It's breaking me up and tearing me up
It's all I have

Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll find our way grown
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away, oh
Today's the day we'll fade away

Bullet & Mesa

Bullet flinched and then jumped up in a hurry, his mind fixated on the war and protecting Sasha. "I... oh." He trailed off, coming out of a trouble dream. But as soon as his eyes laid on Sasha, he smiled and nuzzled her, "Feeling better today?" Holding back a yawn, he looked around at the darkness in the barn, which made him feel better. He knew the weakness that human eyes had when their was little light. But like Sasha, he still felt the wariness and desire to leave. "Ready to head back home?"

Outside, Mesa was perched in her tree, her head tucked down so that her beack was half-burried in her feathers. She definitely wasn't a nocturnal bird.
